=Food is also not {Sop}. Use {Soj}.

=>pujlaw' qar'a' Ha'DIbaHvam
=No, {pujlaw' Ha'DIbaHvam qar'a'}. See page 179. The tag sentence "qar'a'"
=follows the previous sentence, it doesn't intervene inside it.
Um, Mark, I *am* looking at page 179. At the example "De' Sov qar'a' HoD".
"qar'a'" can follow the verb. qayajHa''a'?
=or better, avoid the "-ghach" with "-mo'". Something like "bIlay'pu'mo'
=yIta'" (or replace "ta'" with an appropriate verb). Think like charghwI'.
Well, yes, you *could* do that, I suppose... ;)
